My Sweet Sorrow



I can't help it if I hurt
If a tear or two slips from my eye
I don't know how to act anymore
Every movement so calculated
Trying to pretend I'm just fine
I can't remember how it was before you
I was strewn into a million little pieces
You put them back together
I like to reminisce how it was while I knew you
Happy and breezy
I felt like you cared
Now I feel empty & alone
(Not my fault)
What am I fighting for?
Someone who said unspeakable things about me?
Yes I am
And I don't care
All I think about is you
All I feel is you
All I hear is you
You are my everything
Come back
